The completely essential video was the work of Adam Schleichkorn, AKA Mylo the Cat, who has made over 500 videos since he joined YouTube in 2007, starting out by lip-syncing cats and dogs.

He recently explained the secrets of his remix success, telling the Independent: ‘The goal behind my old ones was to promote virtually unknown indie bands, so I always wanted to test the waters with a hit mainstream song.

As it turns out, I realised that making animals seem like they’re singing is actually way harder than Sesame Street characters, so I made a couple of these Sesame Street-style ones.’

The 31-year-old from Long Island, New York, added: ‘This latest one actually only took me around four hours, but it’s only because of the fact that I spent literally hundreds of hours in the past working in this format.’
